Waterfall Wednesday 8/29/2018

[AlanLichty]

Welcome to another Wednesday and another waterfall fest.

In mid winter the views in the Columbia River Gorge change when all of the leaves are gone and the scene opens up a bit. Moss and ferns rule the roost and offer up more greenery than the leaves do in the summer anyway. This is a view in Shepperd's Dell that offers some perspective on the thriving world of moss.

Shepperd's Dell falls in the Columbia River Gorge.

Pile on with your own waterfalls.

Here is my contribution. A waterfall on Oak Creek Sedona.

Thanks, Alan, as always.
This is a definite cheat: I posted this back in late June or early July, but I wanted to contrast it with how it looked after Hurricane Lane dumped 4' of rain on the Big Island in 3 days. It went from a normal flow rate of around 26,000cfs (the morning of 8/23) to 82,300!. It's normally 35cfs! Thanks to Mick Kalber for the video.

Alan, your image keeps on giving as I scroll, lovely. Thanks for keeping this this tread alive.
Bob, You've captured a beautiful spring scene. (I might pull back the green in the water a bit)
Monika, Your b&w depictions of Hawaii show a unique quality to these lush tropical forests.

Here's not so much a waterfall, more like a log fall.

Zeph, did you choose that composition because of the 'Z' formed by the logs.....?

Here's Burney Falls at sunset with some fall color. Looking forward to Autumn...

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks again Alan for starting this. Here is one of mine.

This is the main falls at Provo River falls. A side shot which is not the usual comp.

Some really nice images here already. Here is an abstract of Bond Falls in MI during the fall.

That is really cool Alan. I can’t recall if I have shot Sheppard’s Dell in the past.

 

[AlanLichty]

That is really cool Alan. I can’t recall if I have shot Sheppard’s Dell in the past.

Really easy to drive right past it. It's in between Latourell Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Access to the path where this was shot from is closed due to falling rock. I don't think this scene itself was harmed by the Eagle Creek fire but the ridge tops above it were so there are a lot of rockfalls below.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Monika.

Awesome stuff everyone! Here's a shot of Myrtle Falls on Edith Creek with Rainier forming the backdrop from a couple of weeks ago.

Wow - Nice. I would have guessed there would be far more smoke than that when you were up here.

I did a fair amount of selective post processing to cut through that haze. This looks far better than it was.

You cleaned it up well. I have shot from there with thick forest fire smoke haze and it definitely adds a lot of work to the post processing.

Presque Isle River (about 90 miles north of Bond Falls that Doug Sherman shot so well)

Like everybody else fall can't come soon enough or last long enough.

Just pick me up on the way..
